Lions steal kills from cheetahs.

Recorded sources

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that lions steal kills from cheetahs?

Yes. A general ecology reference states directly that lions sometimes steal prey killed by cheetahs, and a children's reference says lions occasionally steal cheetah prey. Other sources confirm cheetahs are vulnerable to kleptoparasitism by larger predators, though one Kruger study observed hyenas rather than lions stealing cheetah kills.
